Crazy 8s is a math club unlike any other! It offers unique, high-energy math activities and games that appeal to kids of all math abilities. This club offers mischief-making activities that kids love, like Bouncy Dice Explosion and Spy Training. We start with the fun, then roll in the math.

Join us as we make all sorts of treats and snacks. We will be practicing knife and mixing skills while preparing easy foods that can be recreated at home. This us NOT a repeat class.

Come join Jack and Annie as they visit the unicorn of the sea, a pack animal who taunts his herd by sticking his tongue out, a penguin as tall as the average six-year-old human, a dog who doesn’t bark, and a big cat who can’t roar. Each week, students will listen to or read one half of a Magic Tree House book at home. Students will need to have access to the books listed below through the library or by purchasing them (eBay and other used sites are great resources for this). In class, students will work on their own travel journals, discuss, and do hands on activities. The books that will be covered are: Eve of the Emperor Penguin, Narwhal on a Sunny Night, Late Lunch with Llamas, Sunlight on the Snow Leopard, and Dingoes at Dinnertime.

Each week we will explore a different handmade craft such as diamond painting, sewing, and making friendship bracelets. While the kids are working on their crafts, they will have the opportunity to socialize with their classmates and listen to audiobooks or music.

Come with us as we explore the culture through crafts, food and stories of 10 different countries.

Come join the choir! Have a whole lot of fun while we sing, learn new skills, do hard things, and have a lot of stinkin' fun! Students will be expected to practice music at home. Fall concert date is November 16.
